I designed and built these little tables this week.

Comments or questions welcomed.

Thanks, Bret

I like them. They should look better and better as the cherry ages.

These are great designs. Very elegant but efficient. Made in a week...that's really kicking some sawdust !

What about drawer handles...or is there a hand inset on the bottom of the drawer?

All,

The wood is cherry and soft maple.

I like the way cherry darkens with time also.

The tables were actually built it two days, however, the finishing is not yet complete. One thing I like about this design is it's was easy to build.

I have some knobs to intall for the drawers once the finsih is done.

Thanks Joe. Yes, I made the bowls and the art stand also. i've been experimenting with photos of my work. The assessories make the subject peice look better as well as the no-seam backdrop.

Very nice Bret. I'm in the process of making 2 end tables just like these but with straight tapered legs. African Mahogany and curly maple. Hope they turn out half as good as those.

Brett those came out very nice. Just a enough to be a little different, I like them. Glad the cherry worked for this project.
